Does F1 have a wet weather problem? 🌧️ Here's a dive into the restarted debate and the factors in play ⬇️
at Suzuka in 1994 – would not have happened these days because the races would never have been allowed to start.
As Wurz, who was caught up in the famous 1998 Belgian Grand Prix opening lap pile-up, said: “The entire world is moving into a more safety-first attitude.“On one hand you can say this is bad, and this shouldn't be the sport. But I think the sport has been absolutely sensational in improving the safety without jeopardising performance generally.
“Perhaps we all remember 30 minutes delay in the old days wasn't as irritating as it is now to some fans. It is a fact.”One of the key deciding elements in whether or not cars can run in the rain is tyres. “The tyres are wider too, which may be more important than the previous factors. That means it's easier for them to have aquaplaning or reduction in contact patch because of the water displacing. Plus if they have bigger wider grooves, then the ridges fall apart.”As Pirelli’s head of F1 and car racing Mario Isola explained in Japan: “With a full wet, you spray in the air three times the water of the intermediate.
If track conditions provided too dry for the wet to work, but too damp for the intermediate, it would be a recipe for disaster.“We had a monsoon tyre in the past but it was a decision to have this kind of product with a broader crossover between the wet, the intermediate and the slick.
